The No. 9 Santa Clara women's soccer team tied No. 23 Georgia,
1-1, today in the final day of the Stanford/Nike Classic at Laird
Q. Cagan Stadium. It was another game filled with second-half
scoring, as the Broncos went up first only to have a late goal
spoil their chance at victory.

A flurry of offensive activity from both teams started the game,
with one corner kick apiece and Santa Clara with five shots to the
Lady Bulldogs' three in the first 20 minutes. Sophomore Lauren
Matheson had one of the best chances, striking the post at
18:57.

The Broncos would go on to post their highest single-game shot
total of the season against Georgia, firing off 29 shots in the
game, including 11 at goalkeeper Ashley Baker. Baker saved
10.

The one that got past Baker came in the 63rd minute
as junior Jenny
LaPonte earned her first assist of the season, setting up
senior Anessa
Patton for the goal off the cross from the left flank.
Patton had had two earlier chances in the half, one that went wide
and another that was saved, but made good on her third attempt.

After the goal, Santa Clara rattled off seven consecutive shots
before Georgia had another chance on Henninger. Henninger had
six saves in regulation play before the Lady Bulldogs were finally
able to get one into the goal courtesy of Jamie Pollock's header in
the 81st minute.

The Broncos continued their barrage of shots in overtime,
outshooting Georgia 6-3 during extra time (29-19 total), but
couldn't find the back of the net, knotting the game at one each at
the end of 120 minutes. Henninger finished with seven saves
and senior Amanda
Poach made her season-debut in the game.

The tie is Santa Clara's second this season, moving its record
to 4-1-2. The Broncos return home next weekend to host the
Santa Clara Classic and will take on Georgetown (currently No. 18)
and Utah.
